Message from Metro Milwaukee
They attended the unveiling of the new Chief Vintage in Los Angeles
Hello Riders!
It’s Jake from Indian MKE! Rob and I just got back from the Indian Motorcycle 125th Anniversary Dealer Meeting in Los Angeles, and we are genuinely fired up about what’s ahead – not just for the brand, but for YOU as a rider.
One of the biggest highlights was meeting Mike Kennedy, the new incoming CEO of Indian Motorcycle. He’s a lifelong motorcycle rider with a deep background in the performance and parts world as the former CEO of Vance & Hines. What stood out immediately was his passion for riders – for YOUR experience, YOUR ability to customize, and YOUR connection to this brand. The direction he’s taking Indian Motorcycle is bold, exciting, and very rider-focused.
What we can confidently say right now is this:
The future of Indian Motorcycle is putting an even bigger spotlight on YOU – your style, your preferences, your vision of the perfect bike. There is a strong push toward giving riders more freedom, more personalization, and more ways to truly make an Indian Motorcycle your own.
Some of the details are still under wraps, but trust us when we say this:
There are HUGE. HUGE. HUGE. things ahead, and more news will be coming soon. We are beyond excited to share what’s coming next with you.
We also had the chance to see the all-new 2026 Chief Vintage in person and it is nothing short of incredible. A beautiful balance of Indian Motorcycle heritage and modern technology – a bike that feels timeless and fresh all at once. Wait until you see it in person.
The biggest takeaway from the meeting?
With Indian Motorcycle now able to focus 100% of its energy on motorcycles, the future has never looked brighter – and it’s a future built around the riders who live this brand every day.
Right now, 2026 models are beginning to arrive, and we still have select 2024/2025 models available at some incredible pricing. Whether you’re thinking about upgrading, customizing, or simply staying connected to what’s next – this is an exciting time to be an Indian Motorcycle rider.
We couldn’t be more optimistic about what’s ahead, and we can’t wait to bring YOU along for it.
